SPECIFICATION forming part of Letters Patent No. 462,029, dated October 27', 18.91.

Application filed August 2l, 1889.

\ Be it known that I, VILLIAM BUNTING, Jr., a citizen of the United States, and a" resident of Brooklyn,in the county of Kings and State of New York, have invented certain new and useful Improvements in Water- Closets, of which the following is a specification.

My present invention relates particularly to that class of side-deliveryWash-out Waterclosets employing a receiver or dish and a trunk. or outletcl1amber-such, for example, as may be seen in Letters Patent granted to ine August 6, 1889, No. V4:08371. To closets of this description there exists the objection that the inner Wall of` the trunk or outlet chamber or passage from the receiver or dish 1s never Washed down or flushed, and Vhence soon becomes soiled and emits a disagreeable odor. The soiling of this wall of the outletchamber occurs by reason of the trickling or Heating over the dam of the'receiver of water, excrement, and bits of paper during use of the closet when the receiveris full, and also at the cessation of the Wash-out or flushing operation.. During the latter it will be understood that almost the entire contents of the receiver are driven forcibly past the dam and beyond the inner vertical wall of the but a portion of the contents of the receiver at about the termination of the wash-out' drifts or dribbles over the edge of the dam onto the inner vertical wall of the outlet-chan1ber. Part 0f this drift or overiiow, especially the solid matter, is'apt to adhere or cling to said Wall and remain there until removed by an attendant, for at this locality of the outlet-chamber there is never any flushing or scouring action to be obtained from the Wash-out'.

My invention has for its main object to overcome the recited objections; and to `this end it consists iu providing suitable means for iiushing or forcibly Washing down the said inner wall of the outlet-chamber, preferablyr at each iushing or Washing-out operationi of4 the dish or receiver, all as will be hereinafter more fully described, and particularly pointed out in the appended claims.

In the accompanying drawings, Figure l'is a plan View of a Water-clcsct embodying my sean No. 321,443. (No moin.)

found designated by the saine numeral of reference.

The Water-closet is shown as made of one piece, though this is not material, and as consisting of a bowl or basin 2, a flushing-rim 3,

a, dish or lreceiver 4, a trunk or outlet-cham- 4ber 5,a trap 6, andan outlet or discharge pipe 7. The flushing-rim is provided with pcrforations 8 on each side and witn a slot 9 at the front. The flushing-rim is preferably supplied from the vertical flushing or service pipe 10 through the inlet-nozzle 11 and the l conduits 12 12 in the manner explained in my aforesaid Letters Patent. From said conduit-s directly I preferably take the supply or supplies of Water for Washing down the inner vertical Wall 13 of the outlet-chamber. In thus carrying out my invention I provide on each side of the trunk or outlet-chamber a pipe, channel, or passage-Way 14:, Whose upper end communicates with the conduit 12 and Whose lowerend extends'down to the wall 13,Wl1ere4 it maf,t discharge upon the same. Preferably the outlet from the pipe or passage-way 14 is provided by 'forming a lateral perforation or a series of such perforations, as 1'5, extending from the inner Wall 16 of thetrunk out-v wardly to said pipe orpassage-way, as clearly f illustrated in the drawings. tions are preferably arranged` These perforaat an angle to the vertical Wall 13, so as-to insure the striking. of the same by the water issuing .or-dis.

charging through said perforations or openings I prefer also to .have several or a series of the perforations 15 on each side of the vertical Wall and to arrange them vertically7 or one above the other in order that a greater area or surface' of Vsaid .wall may be iushed or forcibly washed, and thus' conduceto a `incre efcient cleansing thereof and greater' purity in the closet as a whole. ,'Whiie Iprefer tc take the Water forthis auxiliary Hush from the conduits 12, I do not limit myself thereto, as those skilled in the art will readily I naybe taken from the inlet-nozzle, abranch from the service-pipe, or from seine other' suitable or convenient source.

In operation it will be understood thatv part ofthe main flushing-water will descend lthrong@ the pipes or channels 14 and discharge therefrom forcibly upon the surface of the vertical Wall and wash or cleanse the same at each flushing or 'Washing-out opera.- tion of the receiver er dish. The upper perforation of each series is preferably on about a level with the dam 17 or at, the top of 'the vertical Wall 13 in order `that the said Wall maybe Washed or cleansed from its upper edge down tothe water-line 18 of the trap If desired, instead ofemploying` two auxillary flushing-pipes 14 only onemay be used; but I,;.j.'-have found'v in practice that. the best results are obtainable' 'by employing two such conduits, arranged to direct the flushingivateri-toward the vertical center line of the Wall T In lieu, however, of the arrangementffor securing the auxiliary iiush shown at Figs. 1 and 2, that show ni'n-the modification ati-I Fig. 3 may be made, wherein the flushing pipe or channel 14 is 'disposed horizontally along the dani or upper edge of the Wall 13- and is perforated or 'constructed-to eect a discharge of` water upon said Wall for the-'purpose of .Washing or cleansing the'sarne, as hereinbefore explained.

,that I claim as new, and desire to secure- A byetters Patent is l 1. Ina Water-closetA having a horizontallyarranged dish or receiver and a vertically# arranged trunk at one side thereof, the oom- A bination, Witllfthe main flushinginstruinen talities and .the inner Verticalw'all 13 of` the trunk, which'is adjacent to the dish or rev ceiver, of a vertically-arranged auxiliary jpipe or-conduit-arrangedalongside of said Wall' and havingv a series of perforations one above the other to discharge a series" of horizontal streams or jets upon said wall to remove any matter which may have drifted or ioated from the dish or receiver and' lodged thereupon, substantially as set forth.

2. In a water-closet having a horizontallyarranged dish or receiver and a' verticallyarranged trunk at one side thereof, the combination', with the rmainflushing instrumentalities and the inner vertical wall 13 of the trunk, which is adjacent to the dish or receiver, of two vertical auxiliary flushing pipes or conduits arranged in proximity" to said wall and perforated each to effect a discharge 'ofwater upon said Wall and toward the vertical center thereof, substantially as and for the purpose set forth.

Signed at New York, in the county of New vYork and State of New York, this 16th day of August, A. D. 1889.
